This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Triads within a key, relative to a movable position. This goes a LONG way. The simplicity makes it very approachable.
Great stuff brother! I've been using these shapes for years but I'm loving your approach with the sus chords and especially the open strings. As a bonus, these shapes are the perfect jumping off point for more Hendrix/Gospel/R&B style playing!
Dude, I am digging these vids! I've been playing for over 10 years and I've learned so much from you in just 2 vids. Wish I could have watched these years ago. Also, you should be a preacher. You have a great teaching spirit!
i love your videos!!!! im a bassist learning rhythm guitar 🎸and your content has been incredibly helpful to my transition!! pairing with getting a good grasp of music theory, your videos always come together and provide a practical lesson! please keep it up for us all!!!!
You are doing an amazing job with these videos. I’ve been through so many channels trying to pick up tidbits here and there, but the lessons learned weren’t getting me to that same comfort zone I had playing acoustic with the worship team… Your two-notes video was a huge breakthrough for me.
Dear good sir, this is amazing. It's one thing to google all of this and try to learn it on paper, but actually seeing it in use as well as the finger placements is mindblowing. This is super encouraging, keep it up, I need more!
I agree with this! A way to play all 7 chords in one spot of the neck that can be moved up or down depending on the key. One of my favorite guitar youtubers at the moment. SO much informational and inspirational stuff to learn. Thank you!
It's also helpful to know that the Em is the relative minor of G. Am is to C as Bm is to D and so on... this is how to differentiate and not panic in a worship set if you just want to stick with the triad of a major or minor. I often will see a C#m and an E in the same sequence and I just stay in that pocket...
Hello , thanks for these amazing videos. Are you doing these videos for other keys as well i loved part one and I’m excited to watch is one and part three.
Love your videos! I always learn so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, man! What's that gorgeous Tele? And what's that colour? Big love from Australia! 🦘
Thanks mate! Glad they're helping! I'll have to go back and find the exact info on the guitar. I honestly don't remember. You can tell how much of a gear head I am. 😂 Also, make sure to check out our LIVE classes rolling out this Fall: www.dontgiveup.pro/nashville-numbers Use the Code: DOJO2024 for $10 off.
A little music theory here for ya: That G to C could also be called a G to Gsus4. The 4 of G shape is actually the C note (going from B/3rd to C/4th). When I heard your triad change I immediately thought sus4.
hey man, digging the channel! The background and text color changes for the tagline animation after the intro is good, except for the gray on another gray on another gray. Aim for more cohesion and similar contrast. Sometimes we add features like those color changes as a flex, but in this case it's more distracting & harder to read than appealing.
At the beginning of the triad in G part one, you said you were going to do this for all the keys. Is that still the plan? I am playing in the key of D this weekend and I went YouTubing and NO ONE spells it out like you do and has the practice incorporated. Thank you, God Bless. 🙏👍😀
Sign up here to get a new triad video from the series each week. mailchi.mp/dontgiveup/oiowo2xp2p Also, here’s the direct link to the key of D. This is the last video in the series so it goes at a much faster pace and the shapes are a little more complex. After you sign up you’ll immediately receive the key of C video. For D, you could try to capo 2 and play in C. Honestly I like the key of C shapes better than D. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/hF_OqfIFv1U/видео.htmlsi=RaEkYO6QqVEpmeLz
The complexity myth part reminds me of the oceans drummer meme. The keyboardist was playing and singing worshipfully and he went way overboard! So his playing distracted from the worshipping.
String buzz can happen for a few reasons. The main reason would be 1: You may not be pressing hard enough on your note. 2. Make sure your finger is as high on the fret as possible, the further back you press on your fret the harder it is to get sound. And 3. Is more of a guitar setup issue. Your strings may be too close to the neck when you play in certain locations on your guitar which means you'll need someone to correct the action on your guitar. Hope that helps!
Could you tell me please why it is called a "G" key (G is I, C is IV, D is V and Em is vi) when in part "Waymaker Playalong" it seems to me as an Em key. I know that Em and G scales consist of the same notes however in this case numbers I, IV, V and vi don't suit equally to each relative key.
The playalong track that begins w the Em is purely to get people playing along w the shapes. That chord progression isn't a realistic example of a common progression in worship songs. But yes, I think we could say that progression is in a minor key. But minor keys are another conversation.
One triad shape can be used over multiple chords to play different groups of notes within those chords. Those three notes are a Gsus4 (G C D) but they are also a Csus2 (C D G)
You are playing triads that do not match the notes of the chord you are playing over. I understand that one can play a lead using notes that are not part of the underlying chord and in a sense you are doing exactly that. So I think what you are doing is simply trying to tell us exactly which notes to use from the key over each specific underlying chord and limit those note choices to three specific ones.
Within the CCLI top 50 worship songs, the chords most commonly called for in the IV and vi positions are the altered chords, not only the 1st, 3rd, and 5th of the triad. The chords in this method are altered to add the commonly used 2nd note in the IV chord and b7th note in the vi chord.
Please don’t give up on RUclips. Your content is extremely valuable. This will be EMPOWERING for so many!
Thank you for the encouragement!
The permission to play simply is a pro tip. Keep it simple.
Your lessons are amazing. You break the chords down in a way that makes me see them in a different way. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Triads within a key, relative to a movable position. This goes a LONG way. The simplicity makes it very approachable.
That's great to hear!
A thousand amens to the complexity myth.
This is exactly what I have been looking for, you are awesome!
Please keep making these videos!!!! For the first time I feel like I am finally getting over my beginner plateu hump!
You got this!
Dude I can’t thank you enough for these videos. Loving the series. Can’t wait for next episode.
Great stuff brother! I've been using these shapes for years but I'm loving your approach with the sus chords and especially the open strings.
As a bonus, these shapes are the perfect jumping off point for more Hendrix/Gospel/R&B style playing!
All about the Gospel/R&B!
Why did i find these lessons when everyone is in bed and my headphones are broke.... Cannot wait to practice and implement these on Sunday!
haha, let me know how it goes!
These videos are super great! Keep these coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Dude, I am digging these vids! I've been playing for over 10 years and I've learned so much from you in just 2 vids. Wish I could have watched these years ago. Also, you should be a preacher. You have a great teaching spirit!
So glad these are helpful for you! Thank you
Loving this series of lessons. Thank You!!!
These videos have been eye-opening for me. Thank you so much for explaining these in a relatable way.
You are so welcome! Thank you. Make sure to check my Live Classes as well: www.dontgiveup.pro/nashville-numbers
Such a great explanation of different triad voicing styles! Keep up the great work so helpful!

I also mostly play 1 for 1&6, 4 for 2&4, 5 for 5&3 . playing just major chords for their relative minor chords works really great
That's right!
this has helped me so much. Thank you
Your lessons are amazing. God bless you and please keep making more videos!
Thank you, I will
Love your videos! Thanks for keeping it simple for a newbie like me 😀
Glad to hear it's helping!
Thanks a lot! Really helpful video. I like how simple you did it for us. Going to use it this Sunday
This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
the best lesson and i understood...may the lord bless you
Thank you. Really really good tips there
Thank you
Thank you so much sir! I won’t give up!! 🥰
Amazing easy concept. Can you please videos of Triads. For example, a triad with all 7 chords surrounding
I have the same question?
I agree with this! A way to play all 7 chords in one spot of the neck that can be moved up or down depending on the key.
One of my favorite guitar youtubers at the moment. SO much informational and inspirational stuff to learn.
Thank you!
In the new email series I'll be walking through how to add the ii and iii chords to the positions!
Thanks. Your work here helps me.
It's also helpful to know that the Em is the relative minor of G. Am is to C as Bm is to D and so on... this is how to differentiate and not panic in a worship set if you just want to stick with the triad of a major or minor. I often will see a C#m and an E in the same sequence and I just stay in that pocket...
Best tutorial thank you!
You're very welcome!
Hello , thanks for these amazing videos. Are you doing these videos for other keys as well i loved part one and I’m excited to watch is one and part three.
Here is a link to sign up for the free triad course. I cover other keys in this course. mailchi.mp/dontgiveup/oiowo2xp2p
Great video, CJ!
Thanks Dave!
this is amazing please share more of these chords in 1456 progression!!
Awesome stuff dude , thanks!
Awesome Video!!!!!!
Man you videos have been such a blessing , can you do a video explaining guitar swells and what notes work best for certain keys
That's great to hear! I hope to cover that in future videos. Thanks!
Great tutorial
Trying to play this on acoustic. Not as cool sounding without oomph of an electric. But some really great triads to learn. Thanks 👍
Happy to help!
Love your videos! I always learn so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, man!
What's that gorgeous Tele? And what's that colour?
Big love from Australia! 🦘

Very nice! Thank you!
This should be required reading for just about every worship electric guitarist.
oooh I like this.. Thank you

Loving these lessons! I’m just a little ADHD. Can someone explain to me why he is playing a Gtriad over the Em? What’s the connection?
Loved the video. The bigsby on you guitar, did you installed yourself or you purchased as is ?
I installed it myself
Buen video 👌🏻👍🏻🔥 tienes el baking track,algun link para practicar?
ruclips.net/video/oIa0Z6mVvc8/видео.html
Tengo una pregunta puedo usar esa figura para todas las tonalidades? gracias bendiciones
Each key will require some minor adjustments. That's what I will cover in the email series.
The complexity myth part reminds me of the oceans drummer meme. The keyboardist was playing and singing worshipfully and he went way overboard! So his playing distracted from the worshipping.
So true
I can’t seem to play these triads without major string buzz :( any tips on how to hold down the strings better??
String buzz can happen for a few reasons. The main reason would be 1: You may not be pressing hard enough on your note. 2. Make sure your finger is as high on the fret as possible, the further back you press on your fret the harder it is to get sound. And 3. Is more of a guitar setup issue. Your strings may be too close to the neck when you play in certain locations on your guitar which means you'll need someone to correct the action on your guitar. Hope that helps!
I would assume there is an easy place to throw in a ii (Am n this case) some where in the same area of the neck. Is there?
Yessir! I cover this in my free triad course. You can access it here: mailchi.mp/dontgiveup/oiowo2xp2p
Could you tell me please why it is called a "G" key (G is I, C is IV, D is V and Em is vi) when in part "Waymaker Playalong" it seems to me as an Em key. I know that Em and G scales consist of the same notes however in this case numbers I, IV, V and vi don't suit equally to each relative key.

your nice (;
i thuot the G & Em are the same because they are relative....
For this approach, the G triad is played over the Em simply because those three notes are within the Em7 chord.
I kind of get lost with how many times you pick a particular chords.
If you had a more prominent mustache, then you'd look just like Zach Bolen from Citizens. You listen to them at all? Also, great lesson :)
hahaha, yeah Citizen's is great!
Fantastic content thank you so much for sharing!! Why is it called the ACE Method?
Nevermind I just rewatched it and it's like the very first thing you explained.
And if you really must play an Em, it’s just a pinky away.
Exactly
This is honestly a great tip but technically this is just picking out a g and g sus triad no 🤔
One triad shape can be used over multiple chords to play different groups of notes within those chords. Those three notes are a Gsus4 (G C D) but they are also a Csus2 (C D G)
Modern worship ?
For this Channel's purposes "Modern Worship Music" refers to the most common musical characteristics found in the song of the CCLI top 50.
You are playing triads that do not match the notes of the chord you are playing over. I understand that one can play a lead using notes that are not part of the underlying chord and in a sense you are doing exactly that. So I think what you are doing is simply trying to tell us exactly which notes to use from the key over each specific underlying chord and limit those note choices to three specific ones.

Thank you. So this specifically pertains to worship music and the common practice employed in that type of music. Makes sense.
